Daft Art – 11 Images From The Daft Punk ‘ReDiscovery’ Exhibition

Daft Punk’s fourth studio album ‘Random Access Memories’ is finally out today (20 May) and, to celebrate, Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco has launched ReDiscovery, an art show inspired by the Gallic dance dons. Featuring works by more than 40 painters, sculptors and digital artists, the show runs from 18 May to 15 June and over the next few pages we have some choice works.

Daft Pinball, from Sam Ho. Some bookies have suggested ‘Random Access Memories’ could fly off the shelves this week and challenge UK album sales records held by Oasis’s ‘Be Here Now’ for the last 16 years.

Well, that’s not how we expected Bangalter and de Homem-Christo to look underneath it all. Thanks to Ruben Ireland for this vision.

ReDiscovery can be seen at Gauntlet Gallery, 1040 Larkin Street, San Francisco, USA from 18 May to 15 June 2013.
